upon reading a book

i read books about characters

who know all about movies, books, or music

and sometimes

i want to be like those characters

knowing all about one thing or another

wouldn't that be impressive?

wouldn't everyone want to talk to me then?

yet

i am none of those interesting characters

nor probably ever will be

and yet everything i say

is interesting and fascinating to you

why is that?
